Here is a revealing report in Spiegel Online:

The stock market in the United States has been rallying since Donald Trump's election as president in November, with the Dow Jones Index breaking the 22,000-point mark in August, its third record in a short stretch of time. Yet the extent to which Trump is fueling the upward trend and how long it will last is debatable. Some are already warning of the inevitability of a crash.
Either way, Deutsche Bank has discovered at least two crisis-proof investments. In a recent analyst report, the bank said it was bullish about the prospects for a pair of U.S. companies for which it recently issued "buy" recommendations. These companies are CoreCivic (CXW) and GEO Group, the two largest operators of private prisons in the United States.

Cui bono? Not We The People, that's for sure.
